| 20080282643 | Self-Adjusting and/or Self-Locking Concrete or Cinder Block Lifting Device - A self-adjusting and/or self-locking concrete or cinder block and/or other object lifting device having a stationary assembly | 11-20-2008 |
| 20080307748 | Special equipment and improved methods to install a unitized post tension block system for masonry structures - A special leveling device for use in constructing various types of masonry structures. The devices permit the leveling of an aggregate base for a foundation quickly and accurately. The new leveling device sled is comprised of a flat base float featuring an angular or flat front lead section; a handle; and a signal receiver unit. The receiver unit is comprised of an electronic level receiver and an analog level indicator. The sled device is used in coordination with a laser signal generator that sends a continuous laser beam out from a given position at a predetermined, set height. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090064632 | Apparatus and Method for Aligning Substructures - Embodiments of the invention include an apparatus and a method for alignment of substructures during the construction of a structure. An embodiment of the apparatus includes an adjustable device for selective attachment to a substructure of an unfinished structure whereby the device acts as a stationary point on which to attach a string for alignment of additional sub-structures. An embodiment of the method includes use of the adjustable device in constructing a structure. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090094937 | Mortar finishing tool - Provided is a mortar finishing tool specifically adapted to use for touching up and finishing brick-work jobs. A plate has a left edge, a right edge, a front edge, and rear edge. A left beveled lip is formed integral to the left edge along the length thereof projecting upwardly from the left edge obliquely towards the plate. A rear beveled lip is attached proximate to the rear edge along the length thereof, the rear beveled lip being generally L-shaped in cross-section having a base attached to the plate with its upper portion angled obliquely towards the plate. A handle projects from the rear edge of the plate situated co-planar to the plate. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090260318 | Safety cap and string snapping apparatus - A safety cap and string snapping apparatus for a concrete finishing pole includes a resilient member to be affixed to a concrete finishing pole. The resilient member comprises a mating member and a protective end. The mating member is circular. | 10-22-2009 |
| 20090266027 | BRICK TRANSPORT APPARATUS - A masonry or brick transport device is provided and is operable for receiving and retaining an array of bricks or other masonry products thereon such that masonry workers can easily lift, carry and transport the masonry products from one location (a storage location) to another (an installation location). The brick transport device provided includes a base frame carriage having at least two side rails and at least one interposing cross rail attached thereto. At least one, but preferably two, fork(s) operable for engaging and supporting a brick array are provided to the cross rail. Further, handle bars are provided for permitting a pair of workers to lift and transport the device. Optionally, a hook may be provided to the frame carriage for carrying a bucket or like device. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20100050567 | Grout placement apparatus - The grout placement apparatus has a V-shaped hopper with a flexible-bladed auger mounted therein that can be rotated in both forward and reverse directions by an auger motor. The auger has flexible blades to drive the grout material along the bottom of the hopper to a discharge sleeve that extends from the hopper. Coupled to the discharge sleeve is a discharge assembly having a flow control valve that is automatically opened and closed by the forward and reverse rotation of the auger, respectively. The discharge assembly is hingedly movable with respect to the hopper, allowing the discharge assembly to “swing away” from its operating position against the discharge sleeve to a position that uncovers the discharge sleeve for easy cleaning. A flexible discharge conduit or hose coupled to the discharge assembly conveys the grout material to the desired placement location. The rotation of the auger can be remotely controlled by a wireless remote controller, and the auger motor can be powered by the hydraulics of separate lifting equipment or by a dedicated combustion engine mounted on the placement apparatus. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20120096805 | BLOCKOUT DEVICE - A blockout device for at least partially blocking a through cavity of a concrete block and supporting a settable material comprises a frangible region adapted to accommodate conduits of various transverse sizes, by providing an opening the size of which can be adjusted to accommodate a conduit of any of a number of different transverse sizes. | 04-26-2012 |
| 20120240513 | GUIDE TOOL AND METHOD FOR LAYING CONCRETE BLOCK - A guide tool for use in laying concrete block to form a wall includes a body sized and configured to slidably attach removably to a door frame such as to secure one end of a mason's line at a desired elevation and with a selected offset relative to the door frame. As so secured by the guide tool, the mason's line provides a true positional reference for laying of concrete block both with respect to the intended line of the wall in plan view, and with respect to the desired horizontal line of courses of block which are to form the wall. | 09-27-2012 |
